Australia’s largest child safety education and awareness day
Day for Daniel
Held annually on the last Friday of October, Day for Daniel honours the memory of Daniel Morcombe.
We ask all Australians on this very special day to Wear Red, Educate and Donate.
Parents, carers, and educators are encouraged to start a conversation with children and young people about personal safety. Schools and early learning centres conduct child safety education activities. Businesses and community come together to raise awareness of child safety issues. We are developing a new video resource that will be available for Day for Daniel education.
Day for Daniel is the Daniel Morcombe Foundation’s biggest fundraiser each year. Your support through fundraising helps us to continue developing free resources and programs for parents, carers, and educators to teach children how to stay safe. Funds also contribute to supporting young victims of crime.
Students and staff of Pacific Paradise State School will meet together during the school day to walk as a community throughout the safety of our school grounds. Individual classes will partake in activities and age appropriate discussions based around safety. We ask students to wear red and bring along a donation for the Daniel Morcombe Foundation who work continuously to educate and promote Australia to keep our children safe.
